Will this get the non-enthusiasts talking buses too?

God help the poor buggers who have to use it.

We seemed to have moved into a good place with no nonsensical branding.

Enter violet…

Has Martijn got a colour fetish from his reading days or are we borrowing Uno’s branding.

Wistfully stuck in the 90s

I do think it's fitting that the Violet brand was put on the Citaros given that Hyacinth's sister owns a Mercedes, granted the Citaros are far from new!

You joke. That’s probably the theory behind it.

You know what, if that is the reason then I applaud whoever made the decision for having impeccable taste!

Having said that, if the puns on the back aren't Keeping Up Appearances related, I shall be very disappointed!
